What color is my cervical mucus plug?

When a woman becomes pregnant, a special liquid will appear, which is the cervical mucus plug. In order to diagnose whether you are healthy during pregnancy, you must know its color. Generally, colorless or yellow is normal. So let’s take a look at the colors of cervical mucus.

Cervical mucus plug is a glycoprotein gel secreted from the glandular cells of the cervical mucosa, and its state is affected by various ovarian hormones. Before ovulation, cervical mucus gradually increases due to the influence of estrogen; after ovulation, it gradually decreases due to the influence of progesterone. As ovulation approaches, not only does the amount of mucus secretion increase, but it also becomes thinner, transparent, and elastic, like water or raw egg white, making it easier for sperm to pass through and prolonging the survival time of sperm.

Cervical mucus plug appears after pregnancy. It is a yellow or transparent colorless viscous substance caused by increased progesterone levels in the body. It can effectively prevent harmful substances from entering the uterine cavity through the cervical opening. This is not the basis for judging labor, it depends on clinical symptoms. Vaginal bleeding, discharge, and regular abdominal pain are signs of labor.

Cervical mucus plug is a very sticky, colorless or yellow transparent thick liquid. It is a special protective substance produced by women after pregnancy. During pregnancy, a thick, bloody mucus plug may block the cervix and may pass out of the vagina before labor begins or in the early stages of labor. Cervical mucus plug is something like leucorrhea, but the amount of secretion is greater than that of leucorrhea. Generally, delivery will occur 3-5 days after this phenomenon occurs.
